  • Patent number: 8979196
    Abstract: A support frame removably engageable with a wheelchair using no fasteners or tool-requiring engagement components. The support frame is slidably engaged and disengaged to the wheelchair by vertical translation. In an engaged position the weight of the support frame and anything attached thereto is born entirely by the rigid frame of the wheelchair through a positioning of support members of the frame in a frictional engagement atop the push handles of the wheelchair. So engaged, the support frame allows for easy transfer to other wheelchairs or easy removal and engagement from a collapsible wheelchair prior to or after transport of the wheelchair in a car or vehicle.

The portable traller headrest includes a bar that may be articulated so that it can be folded onto itself, the ends of said bar having transversal holes to fix the bar to a seat with a fixing mechanism that adapts to different thickness of a top edge of various seats and fixes the bar to a backrest of the seats by pressure and at a desired height chosen by the user. Headrest elements, which comprise thin plates made of a rigid material and have a cushioned cover, can be connected, disconnected and rotated in discrete positions relative to the bar .
